uhhh so many deals yet so little money. was going to just get the Company of Heroes pack then saw the THQ pack, wow. I missed the dragon age sale hopefully it will post again. BTW i think Valve should make their own console for the next generation and have steam as its platform, wouldn't that be awesome. No discs, Great deals, Good community platform, Achievements, its all there. I know, I know wishful thinking.

@Dipstick:
I dont know if you noticed
PC isn't where the market is. Everyone as in the Developers are moving towards the consoles due to less piracy, and more sales. Thus SteamConsole

Valve is doing very nicely on PC. They have absolutely no reason to waste money (and time) making a console.

Which is why they are making games on consoles and now the ps3 which they have publicly scrutinized the last 3 years, thats why they tried to get steam on the 360 and failed and got steamworks on ps3 now. so they must be Wasting their time and money right going by your logic. their is a big market in consoles much bigger then the pc, and thats why they are going after it.

I swear to God people don't know what Steam Cloud is.

It's not the steam client. All it does is friends list and transfers your save from console to PC (and vice-versa)

Have you seen the differences between the console ports of TF2 and the PC version? The PC version has had 119 (121 if you actually count them) Sounds like "they are going after it" =\

@Dipstick: Steamworks is not just Steam cloud. and no where did it state that Valve Favors consoles over PC, but they arent blind and they see where the industry is going, such as them reaching out to sony.

I can only name 1 or two Big time developers that produce exclusively for the PC and that is Blizzard. Valve does their main studio with PC and sources the ports out to other developers, but now that looks to be changing with portal 2.

valve are a pc centric company, so if they ever did make a console i'd be pretty surprised. they're making enough money pleasing their pc fans and making ports to console. why they would ever need to downgrade from developing for pc to developing a steam console is beyond me.

@Toms115:

your right toms115 but companys always want to make more money. Im not saying their would be some sort of steam type platform on a console one day but it wouldn't suprise me with the PC market shrinking over time as more and more developers switch their main studio efforts to the console versions and less resources to the PC, with some company's now cutting out the PC all entirely for the console.

Look at Id software, I would have never believe that they are now putting more resources into the console version of RAGE then the pc. Crytek is doing the same thing with the new crysis game.

a lot of the bigger companies are switching to console centric developing because they are afraid that they will not get filthy rich, as opposed to to being in the industry to, you know, entertain people. valve do care about their customers and are loyal to the pc, so i can't see them focusing on consoles more than pc anytime soon.
